Good Friday Morning!  This first week of September flew by quickly!  

My pictures of the same roses on the same bush just 3 days apart.  Have you ever seen such a color change?  

Why do mosquitoes love me?  Why do their bites swell up into big, ugly, red spots on me?  

Please send mulch!  hehehe  It didn't go on sale for Labor Day.  So we will wait until next Spring... just 6 months away.  

Even weeds that bloom can be pretty like the one in my hanging basket!  Now where did that come from?  

I need a fresh batch of lady bugs to eat the aphids on my milkweed.  

A flower just for you along with lots of Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Enjoy your weekend and keep smiling!  Hugs

Embrace Thursday with Love for others!

Enjoy this pre-Friday!

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Hope you have a good Thursday:)

Wednesday Greetings!  Hugs

As I put this together, I am praying that this Tuesday will be a dark, overcast, rainy day for us.  

While I love to watch the lightning, I hope we don't have too much and that there will be no damage done if we do have lightning.  

Aren't Lighthouses amazing?  I love how they can warn those out at sea of the rocks and land that they are getting near.  

Just like God's Rainbow is a reminder of His promise to us.  

I love rain and thunderstorms.  After the storm comes the calm and everything is refreshed.  

So whether we get rain or sunshine today, enjoy it and count your blessings!  

Beginning in the late 19th century, as the trade union and labor movements grew, trade unionists proposed that a day be set aside to celebrate labor. "Labor Day" was promoted by the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor, which organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state of the United States to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day.^[4]

Canada's Labour Day is also celebrated on the first Monday of September. More than 150 other countries celebrate International Workers' Day on May 1, the European holiday of May Day. May Day was chosen by the Second International of socialist and communistparties to commemorate the general labor strike in the United States and events leading to the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago, Illinois, from May 1 – May 4, 1886.^[5][6]

Wish you a wonderful week and Happy Labor Day!  Hugs

The last day of August today...
First day of September tomorrow.
Autumn is really on its way! *hugs*

I hope you are sleeping in, getting lots of rest, and have nothing major on your "to-do" list this weekend.  

Mornings are the best time of day!  That is when it is the coolest here.  

I hope it is a nice day where you are.  I think I will go see what is going on outside.  

Then it should be time for lunch and maybe a nap if it is too hot to go back outside.  

Probably time to look and see what we will be having for dinner soon too.  

Well thinking about food and planning ahead is important.  But now I guess I'll say Blessings & Hugs!  

Hello Cheryl, here's pics
from the place we visited yesterday. Some natural Springs about 35 miles
from where I live. There are underwater caves here too and the water is
very cold. It was refreshing to say the least! There were cave divers
there preparing to explore. So neat to learn about.  Happy weekend.

May your Friday bloom in all you see and do today.  

Look around you to see the sites and sounds.  

One of my favorite sounds is the loud calls of the Blue Jays.  I always know when they are around.  

I used to grow Bird of Paradise flowers when we lived in South Texas.  Have you ever seen them growing?  

What makes you notice a butterfly?  Is it the movement, the sound, or the color?  

Just open your eyes and you will see His presence all around you.  Blessings will be upon you too.  

Do what you enjoy and may your weekend be peaceful.  Hugs

Glad all is going good.

This is a beautiful new page Cheryl.  

Thursday is here and that means the month of August is almost over.  

A mustard seed of Faith can accomplish anything!  

Always Believe and have Faith!  

Who would believe that a little itty bitty hummingbird could fly for so many miles?  

There are so many amazing things all around us.  

Hugs

Greetings and Hugs

Which is your favorite?  The rain couds were all around us but miles away.

You know it is the last Taco Tuesday of August.  

As it begins to cool off, maybe a bicycle ride would be fun.  

I don't think I could get past the end of the driveway, so I will wait for you to come back.  

A horse ride in the early mornings would be a fun way to say goodbye to August too.  

Have you ever ridden a horse as it was crossing a river?  I haven't but it looks like it would be fun.  

However, if I am not on the bench when you get back, I'll be off walking with Jesus.  You are always welcome to join us.  

Good Monday Morning!  Did you survive the weekend?  

I love the smell of the coffee grounds when I make coffee and the smell of a freshly brewed pot.  

Now I had better get busy or you might not hear from me tomorrow.  Lots to do today!  

If you go out today, look around you.  You might spot someone who is hurting.  Give them your heart.  

Please don't forget to tell others you love them and that you carry them in your heart.  

After a successful and busy day, I pray God will give you a peaceful night of sleep.  

Not long now until Autumn.  Enjoy a wonderful week!  Hugs
